Dating Standards

[Berethond]

I believe there was a topic about this already, that Labyrinth created. I could be wrong though. Anyone not too lazy to do a search can check this if they wish.

In any case, I have fairly low standards. Looks really don't matter all that much to me as long as she isn't overly fat and at least resembles a human being. As for turn ons, I like tattoos and piercings, the more the better. Turn offs, stupidity, ignorance and sexism (any girl who complains about all men being assholes/stupid is no longer worthy of my attention).

I think it was by...i don't remember....but it was about what makes the men attractive.

EDIT: oh, yeah, I'm hopelessly addicted to musicians and actresses

Any girls in here off Chance?

Girls? On the internet? That's just an urban myth.

HaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Looks don't matter as much to me, as long as she isn't fugly. I go for personality. I don't really look for anything, just talk to them, see if we connect well, and then go in for the kill. Oh and bewbs, of course there's gotta be bewbs.

Yeah probably just that... -bewbs...

Ha, nice...

Looks are always important, but fret not if you cannot find someone. There will always be someone as ugly as you are desperate and alcohol can do wonders for the soul/eyes.

 

[Grand_Poohbah]

Size 6 or less for me...I know, it's chauvanistic, but oh well.

It's not chauvanistic if it's authentically you.

The issue of looks is this: looks SHOULD MATTER to you to the degree to which you--and the person you are dating--want to be physically turned on by the other person.

Now, this has nothing to do with how good looking the person is to other people--if you like big butts and you cannot lie, you don't care if other brothers can deny. However, we all have undeniable, physical reactions to other people. If the way they look plays a necessary part in that reaction, and that reaction is important to the two of you, then that reaction should be just as important.

It's actually unfair to get into a relationship with a person if you respect their brain but aren't turned on by their body if they want to feel physically desired. Now, if their brain turns you on, that's a different story. However, only you know how much you need to be turned on by a person's raw looks. And it's not shallow to filter out people on that basis, on the basis that that you won't be able to make feel like they're physically desired--it's actually kind and responsible.

I never thought about that. I always figured that people wanted to be liked for their personality, but I guess that's what we're taught as we grow up so we wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. I suppose it would be pretty disappointing if someone only liked you because of your personality and wasn't physically attracted to you.

For me, the biggest turn on for me in a girl is knowing how to think. Let me clarify: I mean, taking the time to consider things she's heard, then makes a intelligent, logical opinion. I've seen several girls at school who overreact to so many damn things so damn quickly that I find it unbearable(my mother does this too, and I hate it). If a girl can keep her cool, and not jump to any impulsive, ignorant conclusions, then she's automatically a #1 in my book. Intelligence is very important to me. Its makes all the better when a smart girl chooses you instead of a cover model with nothing to his name but looks and money, and you can spend the whole night with her having an intelligent conversation.

Aside from that, I'm going to go against what many men here have said, and say that a girl my height is more for me. I'm a little over 6-feet, but still, I don't like looking down all that much on someone. Also, tall girls normally have long, sexy legs

I agree with the guy who said big eyes. I too, love big eyes. I also like long hair. Short hair is fine, but it has to look good on her.

Size wise, I guess a girl whose at least a bit cautious about their health and weight, as I am trying to be more like. One who may have a bit of chub, but nothing that goes towards unhealthy. Also, skinny anorexics kinda scare me. However, if they're healthy through things like martial arts, then she's immediately got my attention.

Personality wise, a sense of humor is of course important, but a wide, appreciative sense is best. If she's not a big fan of games, film, animation, manga and whatnot, I really don't mind as long they tolerate my appreciation without hostility. If she doesn't cook, that's fine, I like to cook, and I predict that I might be the cook of the relationship. Of course she'd be easy-going and doesn't take too many things too seriously. Again, takes the time to think about what's important.

As you can see, I've had a lot of time to think about this.

1. Looks are super important. I'm super shallow.
2. Athletic body. Not taller than me. Nice tits.
3. I like it when girls are at least as physically attracted to me, as I am to her.
4. I like a girl who can communicate with her eyes and a wry smile as most people can with all their babbling.
5. I like a girl who gets my jokes, but doesn't laugh too hard.

This is why I'm lonely.

 

[Esdras]

usually a girl next door kinda look, she has to be awesome though and put up with all the hijinks I try to get into.

 

[Blind0bserver]

As far as physical appearance goes, there are really two things I pay attention to: hair color and the eyes. As far as the first goes I have a preference for brunettes. Concerning the second the eyes are usually the first things I look at in any person. If the girl's eyes are something bright like blue or green I find myself getting lost in them. Most often than not I end up going for the artsy punkish girls.

Superficial stuff aside, it mainly comes down to personality. Being able to put up with my bullshit is a huge factor, but besides that it comes down to things like her sense of humor, overall attitude and the fact that she understands me.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

Yeah, I'm definitely getting a sense of Deja Vu here, but regardless, I care way more about personality than anything else. I like a girl that is sweet, kind, and shy. I find that adorable.

In terms of physical attributes, though. I like a short girl with medium sized boobs (big boobs intimidate me. A B cup is all I want). Also, Asian if possible.

Are you me? No, that's crazy, I'm me. I think...

So, yeah. Basically, what he said.

You think therefore you am.

I like redheads, my height, with freckles.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

if history is anything to go by, i love psychotic women who treat me like a doormat. essentially ladies in need of "saving" ie personal crisies, addictions, depression, ect. I have been able to curve it recently however

and yet i remain dateless...

All that first part, skip the curving bit, move on to the dateless part, and that's me right there.

 

[vxicepickxv]

My standards are fairly low. I would have to say that cleanliness is probably the biggest one. If your hair can be squeezed for crude oil, that's a no-no.

There's also a specific kind of vibe I get, but I can't really explain it too well. I know it when I feel it though.

 

[jim_doki]

they have to at least be able to dance to britpop, particularly pulp, oasis and blur

 

[latenightapplepie]

What are your standards for a member of the opposite sex?

In this case, essentially she'd have to be tall, short hair, broad shoulders, small to non-existant 'bewbs' as you call them, a prominent jawline, large hands and feet, small hips and hairy legs and maybe some facial hair too.

But seriously, gay people date as well.

 

[superbleeder12]

I don't really care about looks, but she can't look like a truck (I know, totally hypocritical)

If she can understand all my obscure internet meme references, geeky references, then that's awesome.

my number 1 thing though is having similar taste in music. I have yet to find a girl that doesn't like pop garbage, or only exclusively listens to like 4 bands because she only has an iPod shuffle.

 

[dcheppy]

What are your standards for a member of the opposite sex?

I posted before but what I really meant was...

1.a pulse...no, a body.

 

[Mnemophage]

I like my guys to be a little crazy. I'm not a particularly stable duckling myself, and there's little as boring as a boy who wants me to be. A lot of the time I feel like a jigsaw piece that got shipped in the wrong box. If you fit with me, you're a little crooked too.

I think it's safe to say that if you're straight-edge, vegan, explosively religious, or any other adjective that would prevent you from experiencing some of the cool stuff life contains, it's not going to work out.

 

[Hey Joe]

Hey Joe's dating criteria

Round One- Can you point to Iraq on a map? If so, move onto round two. If not, you better be damned good looking and giving it up like it was the apocalypse.

Round Two- Can you avoid saying the word 'like' twice in one sentence? Of so, move onto round three. If not, see addendum to round one.

Round Three- Bikini Contest

Round Four- I have a very fragile ego that needs to be stroked every single day to avoid falling into a pit of self-pity. Do I rock your world?

Round Five- If you have made it this far, you must be either desperate or made of sterner stuff. What is the ultimate answer.

If you answer correctly, you will make the short list of Hey Joe's potential dates. This list will be taken to sub committee, and an answer to your inquiry will be returned to you within five working days.

 

[iseko]

Can't be taller than me.

BLUE EYES (love it)

Brunette with none of the curly perm hair crap.

Nice ass.

Needs to be a little of a cynic...

Intelligent and intrested on some lvl in politics and current events.

Needs to know what she wants when she wants it. Doesn't mean I want to be her personal slave but I like a girl with a mind of her own.

 

[Stasisesque]

Hm, appearance-wise: Taller than me; chubby please - none of this 6-pack, bulging muscles stuff that makes lying on your chest the equivalent to snuggling up to a brick wall; brown/red/black hair - no funky colours, and not blonde; suits are hot as hell - include a bit of stubble and a slightly scruffy hairstyle and you've got me hooked; and warm eyes (not colourwise, but personality wise).

Personality - I do like cockiness, but I am one of the few; sense of humour - god help you if you don't have one of these.
